Guess who had dental surgery yesterday and had to miss out on #internationalbeerday today. You, you got it... THIS guy 😭😭😭 Oh well there is always next year... And the weekend! I hope that everyone who celebrated, celebrate not only with a beer that they enjoy, but also celebrated with people that they love. I also hope that you all did so responsibly. Happy hump day everyone. #beerbrosbonappetit #beer #craftbeer #craftbrewery #craftbeerlover #drinkresponsibly #shoplocal #supportlocal #shoplocalbusiness #shoplocally #supportlocalbrew #supportlocalbreweries #supportlocalbrewers #supportsmallbusiness #sudbury #ontario #canadiancraftbeer (at City of Greater Sudbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNY2BBPlW-O/?igshid=tty5f389d3ij

Mad Nice IPA from @townbrewery . A big bodied, but super smooth drinking IPA. Mad Nice features citrus and floral characteristics with some sweet berry and stone fruits. . . . . . . #oshawabeer #ontariobrewey #canadiancraftbeer #localbeer #ontariobeertourisim #ipa #juicy #beerbaasha #supportlocal https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-j_NBJRZg/?utm_medium=tumblr

If this quartet of recent new releases is any indication, tropical fruit flavours are going to be a big trend in beer this spring and summer – although as these four beers show, there can be a lot of variety in that area, even with beers using the same fruits. Two of them - Hop City Big Tiki (with pineapple, cherry, passionfruit, mango, guava and papaya) and Muskoka Summerweiss Tropical Wheat (with mango and passionfruit) – sit on the sweeter end of the spectrum, with sweet mango flavours dominating Summerweiss, while Big Tiki tastes like a radler made with Tahiti Treat soda. The other pair – the new-to-Ontario Modern Times Fruitlands Gose (with passionfruit and guava) and the sadly already sold out Bellwoods Jelly King (with guava, mango, and passionfruit) – come from the tarter side, with Fruitlands featuring a great integration of tart fruit, slightly sour beer, and a pinch of salt, and the latest Jelly King variant tasting exactly how you’d expect Jelly King to taste with those fruits, i.e. really damn good and refreshing. . . . #beer #craftbeer #beerphoto #craftbeerphoto #beerreview #craftbeerreview #instabeer #beerstagram #ontariobeer #ontariocraftbeer #canadianbeer #canadiancraftbeer #torontobeer #torontocraftbeer #fruitbeer #tropicalbeer #sourbeer #gose #wheatbeer #hopcitybrewing #muskokabrewery #moderntimesbeer #bellwoodsbrewery

This blog led to a book. Sort of. Check out “Tapping the West”

So, it sure isn’t 2016 anymore. A lot has happened since! Like the installation of strange(r) leaders. An extraordinary reckoning with racism. A global pandemic. And it’s all still happening with no sign of letting up.

Utterly insignificant in comparison, but nevertheless in the midst of it all, came this, my first book - Tapping the West: How Alberta’s Craft Beer Industry Bubbled out of an Economy Gone Flat.

I’m writing about it here, in what I promise will be the last post of One Year of Alberta Beer, because this blog is what inspired it. If you read any of the posts below, you’ll know that I spent Jan.1 to Dec. 31 of 2016 just trying to get to know Alberta craft beer. What a lovely, overwhelming introduction it was.

When it was all over (the year, not the beer), and the industry would go on to double in size in 2017 then continue to grow beyond that, I decided that I needed to know more. No - I decided that the world needed to know more.

I wondered: 

How was it possible that this industry was taking off in this way?

What factors were conspiring to make every trip to the liquor store an hour-long exercise in indecision?

What did the rapid growth say about and mean to Alberta?

Where was it all headed?

And much, much more!

Happily, a publisher called Touchwood Editions also felt the world should know. So there you go: Tapping the West, which I never imagined would ever exist back in that very innocent time of early 2016, is now available for your enjoyment and edification. (Get yours today!)

How about my timing, huh? When this book came out in May, we were in lockdown, scrubbing our hands raw and scrolling endlessly through Netflix. What a world. Alberta beer isn’t going to be the thing that saves it, but I can’t help but think the fact that there’s a lot more of the stuff around right now is good thing. 

And that’s not just because the beer is so great. It’s bigger than the beer. It’s the spirit of it all. If only we could tap that.

I hope you enjoy the book. Thanks for reading my blog. The end.

La Mellifera by Le Trou Du Diable is a fantastic Saison/Farmhouse Ale brewed with honey. This beer actually had a big flavor of lemon blended with the honey. Almost Mead-like. A little funk tartness mixed in as well. The label art is fucking great, which is what drew me towards this beer in the first place. Highly recommended! ************************************* Rating: 4.25/5 ************************************* #BeerMetalDude #BeerReview #BeerPorn #CraftBeer #CraftNotCrap #CraftBeerLover #BeerGeek #Beerstagram #Instabeer #CraftBeerLife #BeerPhotography #Beertography #BeerSnob #OnlyCraftBeer #BeerPics #NoHipsterHere #Untappd #fanaticbeer #pocketbrew #CraftBeer4Life #ILikeBeerCauseBeerIsGood #thebeergame #SupportCraftBeer #hopculture #SaisonFarmhouseAle #CanadianCraftBeer #LaMellifera #LeTrouDuDiable (at San Antonio, Texas)

Bearded Prospector Cream Ale by @fullbeardbrewing This is a very nice, crisp dry ale. Quite refreshing on a blistering hot summer day here in Northern Ontario, Canada. Full Beard Brewing is based in #timmins and has created this cream ale by adding corn, instead of using all barley. This #beer is quite refreshing and will leave you wanting more. * * * #beerbrosandbonappetit #beersnob #beerofsummer #beerstagram #beerstagrammers #beerofinstagram #summer #craftbeer #craftbrewery #canadiancraftbeer #ontariocraftbeer #canada #ontariobeer #ontario #timminsontario #sudbury #sudburyontario #shoplocal #shoplocalbeer #shopsmallbusiness #drinkresponsibly (at Sudbury, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS98jLxlviv/?utm_medium=tumblr

The label of Fairweather High Grade IPA promises that it will be “juicy, dank, tropical” – but I have to disagree with the middle descriptor. “Dank” to me indicates that it should smell like Otto’s jacket – yeah, you know what I’m talking about – but this is much fresher and brighter than that. They’ve got it right with the “juicy” and “tropical” though, as this beer hits both of those on the nose. And it disappears from the glass much more quickly than is usual for a 6.6% abv beer. . . . #beer #craftbeer #beerphoto #craftbeerphoto #beerreview #craftbeerreview #instabeer #beerstagram #ontariobeer #ontariocraftbeer #hamontbeer #hamontraftbeer #canadianbeer #canadiancraftbeer #ale #craftale #ipa #indiapaleale #hoppybeer #juicybeer #fairweatherbrewing
